Well Lady Namera2020 here to elevate your mind on the coolest, stealth and innovative generation known to man.

First, a shout out to all my fellow LKK’s (Latch Key Kids) we made it to adulthood without much fanfare but in case you didn’t know now you do that WE SO ROCK!!!! Before all the cool technology of today we learned to play and engage our minds without the latest gadgets. We saw the struggles of our parents and vowed not to be party to such drama. Plus a very wise dynamic woman named Ms. Karen McCullough Key Note Speaker Extraordinaire gives us mega props in the You Tube video further below. She also apologized to us on behalf of the Baby Boomers for the irreparable damage done to us that we take in stride. (https://www.karenmccullough.com/about-karen-keynote-speaker/) Remember that Melissa Manchester song, “Don’t Cry Out Loud, Just Keep It Inside and Learn How to Hide Your Feelings”?

We are cool as cucumbers, grace under fire with nerves of steel. How? Because we survived childhood mostly with our sanity, the ability to cook, clean and earn a living being industrious. Yes, picking up cans, having a paper route, working in a restaurant and being a stocker in a grocery store were the works of our hands that kept money in our pockets and a sense of accomplishment. We still had chores, helping with younger siblings homework, baby sitting younger siblings and basically managing the household while still being kids ourselves. Why? Because we were being supportive of the hardships our parents were making to make a better life for us. Also, I’m sure there couldn’t have possibly been labor laws for some of the things we accomplished. And if there were, we would NEVER EVER TELL. As this would cause any low income to middle income family more harm than good. But I digress.

While reviewing two blogs that piqued my interest and part of an assignment requirement, I thought what could this blog bring differently than others because I’m certainly not the wittiest nor most insightful. So, I looked at The Jennifer Chronicles and Not Always Right sites which are blogs that appeal to my Generation.

The Jennifer Chronicles (www.jenx67.com) – As soon as I went to the sight it hit me like a brick we both read Judy Bloom’s “Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret”. Plus she has been blogging about Generation X since 2008, Surely, all her wit has covered myriad insight that I’d only be rehashing. Well I will say I really like the site’s layout and content. I recommend you check it out.

The Not Always Right (https://notalwaysright.com/related/) – I absolutely LOVE this site. It is hilarious with crowd sourced blog posts on several topics that are in the dark humor category. The layout of the site is aesthetically pleasing to the eye with multiple “Not Always Right” posts about Legal, Relatives, Romance and other categories including Inspirational. I definitely will be subscribing to the site and recommend you check it out as well.

So after reviewing both sites, was I discouraged in starting my own blog????? Actually no, the review made me want to add my thoughts into the mix. One of the things I am truly thankful for during the adventurous year of 2020 is it forced me to think. Simply to use the faculties I’ve always had to see the world with fresh rejuvenated eyes.

More about that in future posts. Have an amazing each day on purpose for a purpose greater than you!

Best regards,
